5. Jennie Ketcham (Penny Flame)
After years of struggle with both sex and drug addiction, adult film star, Jennie Ketcham (also known as Penny Flame) made an important personal decision to leave the industry for good. She signed up for Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2009 hoping that the move would help her get into the business side of the adult entertainment industry. Unfortunately she quickly discovered she didn’t have any of the coping or business skills a woman in her mid-twenties should have. In a Buzzfeed interview where she was promoting her book I Am Jennie, the star said, “It’s just as unhealthy to go on not having sex forever as it is to have sex the way I was. So I define my sobriety around things that were unhealthy for me, like using my body to get things I wanted from men and women. “She added, “It’s understandable that there are a lot of questions about sex addiction, especially because sex is something that’s paramount to our nature. We have to have sex. And in America you’re either virtuous and a virgin or you’re a total w***e.”
